Canadian Army/Navy rank question

With Unification/Integration, the Canadian Army, Navy and Airforce have adopted the chevrons(I am not sure if this is the correct term) of the Army.

Is my understanding of this correct?

The Army and Navy both wear one chevron(Private) and two chevrons(Corporal).

What are the similar rank of the following for the Navy please?

Private(Untrained)
Private(Trained)
Corporal
Master Corporal
Sergeant
 
Thank you for the replies!

When someone says they are a Private, is the rank written differently if they have a chevron, or does a Private Untrained, Trained and with a chevron still write their rank as Pte.?
 
Unless you are an engineer where an untrained private is Pte, while a trained private is Spr. (Sapper)
 
True. And if you‘re an armoured crewman you‘re a Trooper (Tpr), Artillery you‘re a Gunner (Gnr), if you‘re with a Rifle regiment you‘re a Rifleman (Rfn), and I think Guards infantry regiments still call their trained Pte‘s Guardsman (Gdsm). Did I miss any?
 
Yes, there was a list posted by someone not too long ago (too lazy to do a search also!) but I know there is a Craftsman rank also.

Bzz
